Misanthropes Inc


Matt Rawlins posted an article on the internet 2 days ago and this is an extract from it:

I often hear New Atheist leaders like Sam Harris argue that a society governed purely by science and has banned religion would produce a better culture. Yet, every nation that has followed this prescription has been a totalitarian disaster with a body count that is beyond the grasp of the most horrific imagination.

I am currently reading a book by Theodore Dalrymple (himself an atheist) wherein he quotes this from Harris’ book The End of Faith:

“The link between belief and behaviour raises the stakes considerably. Some propositions are so dangerous that it may be ethical to kill people for believing them. This may seem an extraordinary claim, but it merely enunciates an ordinary fact about the world we live in.”

I don’t believe he contemplated the irony behind that statement, but the harsh reality is that this attitude held by so many ‘progressive elites’ is what provides the fuel for the horrors of the Godless experiments.
